INTACT OpenAPC Initiative: intact-project.org/openapc/ (retrieved February 10, 2017). To assess their effectiveness, Jisc Collections is conducting an ongoing evaluation of all of its offsetting agreements, with the first report (covering a subset of agreements for which data for 2015 was available) being published in the summer of 2016.10 Additional evidence is needed to determine whether the offsetting agreements have actually limited overall spending growth. In the next section, the paper will identify some of the positive and negative discussions that influence the development of compensation agreements.

It is important to note that stakeholders are very aware of the different challenges and are constantly checking the effectiveness of the agreements. The fact that many are billed as „pilots“ reflects not only the caution of publishers, but also that of consortia. In the UK, Jisc Collections worked with institutions to develop principles for offset32 agreements that would allow the industry to review them. For the same reason, the „Efficiency and Standards in Article Royalties“ (ESAC) initiative has published by a number of European consortia a joint agreement on compensation33, which sets out some of its concerns and requirements for the development of such agreements, including the transformation of offsetting agreements into „transitional agreements“, in order to underline that these agreements become necessary as soon as possible and not as a need to be implemented. to distinguish the characteristic of the negotiating landscape.
